Bird drops the ball again in a tackle.

Clinton Gutherson's try has been disallowed.

hang on - being reviewed to see if Paulo has obstructed Fuimaono

Opacic runs into a Ravalawa this time.

SET RESTART EELS - 2 tackles later and they get another. Now on the attack.

SET RESTART EELS - Much needed as they were 15m from halfway at the time and late in the set

BUNKER. Dufty has gone through, grubbered for himself and looked likely to win the race to the ball. Has he been pushed over on the way through? Nathan Brown has grabbed him and he's fallen. Up to the Bunker to decide if it's a penalty try...

Fergo... Fergo... INTO TOUCH! Huge defence from the Dragons to put the massive Eels winger over the touch-in-goal line. 20m restart.

Parramatta with their first real attacking opportunity and they get a set restart. Time for the Red V to absorb some pressure.

HELD UP - Blake Lawrie barges over the line but four Parramatta defenders hold him up.

KNOCK ON Eels - Gutho loses it 10m out in a two-man tackle after fielding a bomb comfortably. Dragons scrum, attack time!

Quick look at team changes - Parramatta lose Ryan Matterson (concussion), Papali'i starts and Stone joins the bench. Dragons have opted for Kaide Ellis over Poasa Faamausili on the bench.

A moment's silence in tribute to Tommy Raudonikis precedes the contest.
